Does anyone know how to write the FreeBSD bootcode despite the fact that
disklabel doesn't like the way sysinstall sets up the drives? My setup is
this: I have an IDE drive (for a couple doom games and such), so I still want
FreeBSD to boot off sd0. I need to put the bootmanager on the wd0 drive, and
then to run FreeBSD, point it to disk 2. Then I've got to manually type in
hd(1,a)/kernel each time it boots. I know how to modify the bootcode and
rebuild it, but disklabel won't write the bootcode, cause it doesn't like how
sysinstall set things up... Any ideas?
